We have very mixed action as many market players are on hold in front of the long weekend.

We have some strength in oil, solar energy and retail while precious metals lag again, but there is very little going on as far as themes. I'm playing a few small oils such as Samson Oil & Gas (SSN) and Magnum Hunter Resources (MHR), but there isn't enough energy there to make me aggressive.
I have some things on my radar such as Web.com Group (WWWW), which reported a good quarter, and EPAM Systems (EPAM), a recent IPO, which I mentioned the other day, but I don't see any hurry to add at this time.
